Influence of pH and Temperature on Struvite Purity and Recovery from Anaerobic Digestate
(MDPI, 2021-09-27)
The precipitation of struvite (MgNH4PO4.6H2O) from wastewater streams simultaneosuly recovers nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) for reuse as fertilisers. Struvite crystallisation is controlled by pH, ...
Quality of Death in Fighting Bulls during Bullfights: Neurobiology and Physiological Responses
(MDPI, 2021-09-27)
During bullfights, bulls undergo physiometabolic responses such as glycolysis, anaerobic reactions, cellular oedema, splenic contraction, and hypovolemic shock. The objective of this review article is ...
Effect of increasing lignin in isoenergetic diets at two soluble fibre levels on digestion, performance and carcass quality of growing rabbits
(Elsevier, 2020-01-27)
To assess the effect of increasing dietary lignin in isoenergetic diets at two soluble fibre (SF) levels on digestion, performance and carcass quality of growing rabbits, four diets were formulated ...
Genetic parameters and associated genomic regions for global immunocompetence and other health-related traits in pigs
(Nature Research, 2020-10-28)
The inclusion of health-related traits, or functionally associated genetic markers, in pig breeding programs could contribute to produce more robust and disease resistant animals. The aim of the present ...
Air treatment technologies in pig farms. Life cycle assessment of dry and wet scrubbers in Northern Italy and Northeastern Spain
(Elsevier, 2024-02-24)
Over the years, different solutions were developed and tested to reduce the emissions of ammonia and particulate matter from the livestock facilities. The environmental performances of these solutions ...
Relevant indicators of consciousness after waterbath stunning in turkeys and stunning efficiency in commercial conditions
(MDPI, 2023-02-14)
The prevalence and inter-observer repeatability of the four most valid and feasible indicators of consciousness after waterbath stunning in turkeys were evaluated before bleeding (i.e., tonic convulsion, ...

Second litter syndrome in Iberian pig breed: factors influencing the performance
(Elsevier, 2022-11-09)
Second litter syndrome (SLS) consists of a loss of prolificacy in the second parity (P2), when a sow presents the same or lower results for litter size than in the first parity (P1). This syndrome has ...
